Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 436998

(Mozilla Labs :: Prism, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.1pre) Gecko/20090701 Ubuntu/9.04 (jaunty) Shiretoko/3.5.1pre
Build Identifier: 

I've tried using the Tools->Convert Website to Application,,, link in firefox 3 and 3.5 using prism 1.0b1 on a couple of instances of ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty jackalope).

It creates the shortcut on my desktop but when I load it, it loads what looks to be a separate profile of firefox and loads the default home page for the browser.

I just switched my main desktop to Ubuntu and really like prism as an ssb.  It's just a critical bug in prism's functionality on Ubuntu. 

Reproducible: Always

Looks like when I use the standalone version of prism by itself, it works.

So the problem seems to come from the Firefox add-on - the creation of the webapp itself.
